The iChain Proxy Server communicates with the iChain Authorization Server to verify authentication credentials and access privileges. This information is held in eDirectory and is accessed using LDAP or Secure LDAP. The iChain Authorization Server is essentially an eDirectory server that has been updated with the iChain schema enhancements.
To install iChain schema extensions on the iChain Authorization Server:
If you have not already done so, install Novell eDirectory 8.6.1 on the machine that will be your iChain Authorization Server.
Insert the Novell iChain 2.2 Authorization Server CD into the CD drive of a Windows client machine with IP connectivity to the iChain Authorization Server. If Auto Start is enabled, the Installation utility will begin. Otherwise, launch Start.exe from the Authorization Server CD.
If this is a Windows 2000 or Windows NT machine, you will need administrator-level access to the client. The installation program launches automatically.
Click Install iChain Schema.
At the Welcome screen, click Next.
Read the license agreement. If you accept the terms, click Yes.
Enter the administrator user name in comma-delimited LDAP format (for example, cn=admin, o=novell).
Enter the administrator password.
Enter the IP address (and port, if necessary) for the server where you want to extend the schema.
Click Next.
The installation program will notify you whether the schema extension was successful. If an error occurs, you should look at the log file to determine what LDAP errors occurred. If a bind error occurs, the installation was not able to log in to the LDAP server.
